G HERBO ‘city of sorrow’ documentary

G Herbo’s path to greatness wasn’t paved with yellow brick. The neighborhood he grew up in on Chicago’s East Side is known—fondly, to some—as “Terror Town.” Passage through a metal detector is required for entrance into his old middle school. In the latest MASS APPEAL documentary, ‘City of Sorrow,’ G Herbo makes his triumphant return to Hyde Park Academy, where he attended middle school. “Nobody wants to stay in Chicago where it’s like, 800 murders. You got to strive for something.” —G Herbo
